Abstract |
The incidence of hepatitis A has increased sharply in Korea, and cases have been associated with many complications. We report a pregnant woman who developed acute renal failure, acute pancreatitis, and stillbirth associated with hepatitis A. She had no relevant medical history. She was admitted to hospital with vaginal bleeding, fever, and myalgia. The initial laboratory data and clinical findings were compatible with acute hepatitis, renal failure, and pancreatitis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of non‐fulminant hepatitis with multiple complications in Korea. (Korean J Med 78:620-623, 2010) |
